Default which fuel level gauge for 98 camaro?

Well I have a 98 SS that I installed a 99-00 computer/wiring harness and my fuel gauge does not work.I also installed Nasty's complete fuel tank/system to. So which Autometer fuel level gauge do I get? They have 0-30 ohm,0-90 ohm,16-158 ohm,240-33 ohm, and 73-10 ohm? Thank you for any help.

Merry Christmas!

Looks like you were on your "Ohm" figuring out this one.

1. You need to find out what the fuel tank level sensor's ohm range is for the float assembly in the fuel tank. If the fuel lever sender came from Nasty’s, you should call them and ask what the ohm range is. If it is a stock 98 Camaro fuel level, then you should be able to find the ohm range in the diagnostics section of a service repair manual. If you have access to the fuel level sender, you can hook up an ohm meter and make you own readings as you move the float from empty to full.

2. The fuel levels can also be wired 2 different ways. A low ohm reading when the tanks is full, or a high ohm reading when the tank is full.

I am going through this process myself for the conversion I am working on

Autometer makes a custom programmable gauge. It has to be calibrated when the tank is empty first, then the tank needs filled and calibrated again. This sets the gauge to read whatever the ohms are. The one I have is a 4310.....It's an ultra lite gauge but they make them in every style. Just different model numbers obviously.

You can use your stock gauge as I did the swap in my old camaro. You just need to swap the furl segments with the express van. Only efilive can do this though.
